The Shen family.

"Shen Liyang, didn't you say you were going to be on duty last night? Are you lying to me? "

Madame Zhou stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at his husband reeking of alcohol.

"Did you go to the brothel with your bunch of dog friends last night?"

Madame Zhou looked at Shen Liyang with a strange expression. She couldn't help but frown as she smelt the faint smell of makeup coming from the man's body.

If Shen Liyang had only gone to bed for one or two nights, she would not have cared so much. But in the past few months, his days of absence had become more and more frequent, and after making a few guesses, the Madame Zhou had also sent people to follow his husband. She soon found out where he had gone to — to the brothels every few days.

She finally couldn't take it anymore.

"What kind of friend?" Those were all the famous young masters in the capital. What do you know about women? " Shen Liyang said somewhat impatiently.

Back when he was in the village, he was very afraid of the Madame Zhou, but now that he had been an official in the capital for a period of time, he started to show off. Especially after meeting some of the rich kids in the capital, he became even more bold, and now, he was no longer afraid of the Madame Zhou.

"Shen Liyang, what do you mean? [You are getting more and more outrageous. You only know how to hang out in the brothel all day. Do you even place this family in your eyes? "You're not allowed to go to that place ever again …"

Madame Zhou had always had a bad temper, hence he immediately became angry.

In the beginning, she thought that since Shen Liyang had become an official, he should at least give him some face, so she let him have his way with her. But now, since Shen Liyang was obsessed with the brothel every single day, he couldn't earn much money in the first place, and now, he was even spending all his money on such a place.

"Shut up! I drank too much yesterday and still have a headache. I don't want to argue with you, hurry up and get out of the way. I'm going back to rest." Shen Liyang said snappily.

After he finished speaking, he saw that Madame Zhou did not have any intention to give way, so he reached out to push her away. Although his strength was not great, Madame Zhou who was caught off guard still staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

"Great!" Shen Liyang, you have become more capable now, how dare you push me? "

Madame Zhou reacted, immediately opening his eyes wide, without saying a word, he grabbed Shen Liyang's arm, preventing him from entering any further.

"Shen Liyang, don't think that you can put on airs in front of me just because you're a sesame seed! If I give you some colors, you're going to open a dyeing workshop, right? "Let me tell you …"

However, what surprised her was that Shen Liyang, who never dared to refute her words before, not only pushed her, he even refuted her words.

"Shut up!" Shen Liyang pulled away Madame Zhou's hand, then shook her hand off fiercely and said with a cold face: "From father to husband, I'm your husband, what right do you have to point fingers and criticize me?"

Shen Liyang thought about what his wife had said at the restaurant today. Their wives were all gentle and kind, unlike his, who was more like a tigress.

"I'm just going to a brothel, what's the big deal. Which one of the young masters in the capital doesn't have three wives and four concubines? "Only my family doesn't have someone who cares about me!" Shen Liyang scolded: "Look at other people's wives, gentle and virtuous, and look at you, you are just a shrew! It took me eight lifetimes of bad luck to marry you home! "

"It's one thing for you to go to the brothel, but now you're thinking of taking three wives and four concubines?!" Madame Zhou said, flustered and exasperated.

"This brothel is not for men to go to, but are we supposed to let you women go?" Shen Li coldly snorted and said, "What's more, it's natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Look at this huge capital, how many men don't have three wives and four concubines?"

"With your temper, being able to tolerate you for so long is already quite good!" "If you dare to be rude to me in the future, I'll divorce you!" It was unknown if it was because of the alcohol, but when Shen Liyang said those words, he was full of confidence.

"Shen Liyang! You dare to divorce me?! " After Madame Zhou heard this, he stared at Shen Liyang with a sinister look, as though his eyes were about to spew fire.

"If you keep on blabbering, I'll go and write the divorce papers in a while!" Shen Liyang waved away the Madame Zhou with an impatient expression.

The two of them quarreled in the courtyard.

Zhu Huiru had just sent Shen Yao away, he thought that he could finally relax, but who would have thought that after returning home, he would encounter such a troublesome situation, the anger that was just suppressed immediately gushed into his heart.

"What are you guys arguing about!"

The moment Zhu Huiru entered the courtyard, he heard their ruckus, and immediately shouted coldly.

"Mother, look at this woman! She is becoming more and more tyrannical! "

Seeing that Zhu Huiru had returned, Shen Liyang took two steps back, opening up some distance between him and the woman.

"Mom, it's one thing to set up a brothel, but now he wants to take a concubine and even divorce her!"

Seeing that, the Madame Zhou immediately walked to Zhu Huiru's side and pulled her hand while crying.

The two shouted at each other, arguing until Zhu Huiru's head hurt.

"Relax!"

Zhu Huiru frowned, unhappily shaking off both their hands, and said coldly: "This is a matter between you two, as husband and wife, you two can discuss it yourselves."

Zhu Huiru left two people there, and entered his own room with a headache. In this house, one or two people could really make people worry.

When Zhu Huiru left, the two of them were stunned for a moment.

Zhu Huiru turned a deaf ear to the arguments behind him, and directly closed the door after entering the house, isolating all the noise outside.

"Old man, I saw Yue Niang today."

Zhu Huiru walked to the side of the bed and sat down, then extended his hand to help the person on the bed twist the blanket.

"Shen Zhu? "She came to the capital?" Shen Chengjiu was overjoyed to hear this.

"Yeah, as the saying goes, a person cannot judge a book by its cover. I never would have thought that Su Zongwen was actually the young master of the Minister Mansion, and now that they have moved their entire family back to the capital, they are living a good life in the capital …"

Zhu Huiru laughed with emotion.

"As long as you're living well, as long as you're living well." Shen Chengjiu's eyes turned slightly sour.

His body was now much better, although he was still unable to get up, but after going through a period of recuperation, his complexion had become much better, and he could even turn on his own. Now that he was lying on the bed, he could not move, and the only person who could not be at ease was Shen Zhu.

Seeing that Shen Chengjiu was so happy, he continued to pretend to be kind and virtuous, and continued to laugh: Originally, I thought that we would have moved to the capital, and that it would be rare to see Shen Zhu again, but I never expected that the heavens would pity us, and let Yue Niang and the others move to the capital.

As Zhu Huiru said this, he paid attention to Shen Chengjiu's expression, and seeing that it was difficult to hide the smile on his face, he continued to speak: "You and Yue Niang have not seen each other for a long time, why don't I send someone to deliver a letter to her in a few days, so that she can bring her son-in-law home for a meal so that everyone can get together properly?"

"Alright." Shen Chengjiu nodded his head.

Speaking of which, it had indeed been a while since he last saw Shen Zhu, and he was very concerned about her. Although Zhu Huiru had already said that she was living a good life, if he didn't see her for himself, he was still worried.

Seeing that Shen Chengjiu was happy, Zhu Huiru sat on the side of the bed and chatted with him for the majority of the day.

Seeing how much Zhu Huiru had changed now, and how he was completely accepting of Shen Zhu, Shen Chengjiu said a few more words.
